Just bought myself a new(old) car
Since i can't link it or post pictures. yet, ebay item number: 300132189836
Well, i just won this car on ebay. A 1966 Plymouth Valiant 4dr. Its a slant 6/automatic and i think it looks great. Baby blue exterior and interior. I can't believe i got it for that price. Little rust, renewed interior. Also, call me weird, but i like having 4 doors. And better than all that, a working AM radio. Oh ya. Anyway, just thought i'd make a post and see if y'all had any comments about the car. |

I'm not gonna do that, i'm keeping my slant 6 'till it blows. And with a freshly rebuilt engine, it should last a while, right? |

WOW ! looks just like mine ! at least in my minds eye. .. what color is that ?I was thinking some thing like a candy orange or a yellow but it has to be the right shade of yellow, as for the tonneau cover I just bought a short box dodge and cut her down to size.it looks good . I bet you got more power in 3 cyclinders than my hole motor. mine runs like a sweing machein, but I tell you I sweat when I have to pull out into traffic some time, she just gags like a june bride on her honey moonand other day she ripps the tires. I never know what Im getting. gas milage is only 23mpg not 28/38 like the ads say..So how much work was it to shoe horn the beast into yours .. whats it run 10.5,where to you start to bukd something like that

If you want an 900 HP injected supercharged aluminum HEMI monster like that you better have a lot more than $10,000 in you're back pocket. More like $35,000.00
I love the slants, and so do most people that give them a chance. My 406 in my Dart Sport surely will be awesome, however everytime the slant fires it brings a smile to my face. They maybe gutless even when semi-built, however they get great fuel economy and last forever. Besides that they are lighter than a small block. It is so nice to hit the key and have the slant purrrrring like one of my newer ricers. I do not understand why everyone wants to rip them out and go big block. Maybe I just drive my cars too much. Parts are plentiful and cheap. Most people will give you a good running slant six. |
